MAGAThread XIX: Hambergers, Noble Prizes, & Disinfectant

[Vetalia]

So Justin Trudeau and Angela Merkel are eldritch and Kim and Xi and Bolsonaro and Putin and Orban and Salman and who the fuck else are just homey stuff. Penpals. Friends. Allies.

Urk.

Good to know.

Honestly, Xi and Putin are the power players in Eurasia so it makes sense to develop good relations with them. Good relations with NK will also help a lot down the line and Kim is definitely a much better option than the alternatives.

[Rojava Free State]

Speaking of poor form by democratic linchpins, here's Donald Trump being very happy at very, very shit news.

This makes sense considering he has no diplomatic relationship with any other North Korean figure. Kim Jong-Un is the evil he knows, and can talk to.

It makes sense because Trump is in love with Kim. He himself admitted to it.

Relationships don't mean "bend over backwards for anyone who flatters you."

Fwiw I wouldn't want to get along with Trudeau either.

Merkel is a different story; before she overstayed her welcome it wouldn't be hard to get along with her.

Eh? Gushing over somebody he wishes he could be is not really talking. More like fanboi.

To be fair it's better to have stability and at least someone you're talking to than the potential chaos of regime change.

This, people who wanted Kim to die clearly aren't using their heads or even thinking about the implications that would have. Love him or hate him, he's easier to deal with than either of his predecessors were, and almost certainly moreso than whichever wild card general would be succeeding him.

I don't care if Trump is gay. I do care that he may be gay for a mass murderer.

Pretty sure they meant in relation to North Korea, not the only one he had diplomatic relationship with in the world.

There's also the chance that Un's sister has her shit together and would present a more formidable opponent. Or not. I really just now learned he had a sister. It's just a possibility.

You can keep good relations without constantly obsessing over him. Us and NK should not be friends. We can avoid war. We can leave each other alone, but trump should not be talking about Kim like he cheats on his wife with him.

Clearly the sanctions on North Korea continually prove that our two nations are the best of friends. Regardless, Trump's large mouth is usually where him and I lose each other, but I think he talks about North Korea in a semi-reasonable manner, seeing as two presidents ago they were in the 'axis of evil for state sponsored terrorism' aka marked for destruction by the bush regime.

The sanctions that Best Korea is blockade running with Chinese help you mean?

Previous methods clearly didn't work on North Korea. Might as well mix it up once in a while.

Farn is more than welcome to take back control (and change my temporary title that is so creative) if she so desires.

The creative spelling of Hamburger and Nobel Prize bothers me a bit. Probably just me ...

I don't see how that's particularly relevant.

Sanctions only have meaning if they're being enforced. Just like Trump, it's style over substance.

They are being enforced. They're just being cheated around with help from the PRC.

The talk doesn't change much. People are still dieing in slave camps in NK.

Really hope we can avoid having to hear Trump talk about Kim Yo-jong is, because there is no way that he would be remotely normal.

Yeah, what is this covfefe? Everyone knows it's spelled "hamberders".

[Nakena]

I want Covfefe and Hamberders.

No noble award?
